Today, with anger, concern, and condemnation, we received reports of continued killings, torture, arbitrary detentions, abductions, forced displacements and massacres using heavy weapons, armored vehicles, helicopters, and terrorist bombings by Assad militias, in addition to committing systematic and widespread violations of human rights against Syrian citizens. These violations are a flagrant deprivation of the Syrian people’s right to life, freedom of expression, peaceful demonstrating, while being subjected to arbitrary arrest, torture, forced displacement, and systemic destruction of some cities, neighborhoods, and historic sites. In addition to destroying and burning homes, forests, and crops to express barbarism, brutality, and extreme violence through shelling using artillery, heavy weapons, and helicopters to face the legitimate peaceful protests right in front of the entire world.
The number of those killed on Thursday, July 12, 2012, by Assad forces reached more than 343, among them many children and women. Of the fallen heroes, 250 were in Hama, most of whom were victims of a massacre in the town of Tremseh, 27 in Homs, 18 in Idlib, 16 in Damascus Suburbs, 12 in Damascus, 8 in Daraa, 8 in Deir EzZor, 3 in Aleppo, and one in Hasaka, not to mention tens of injured civilians, along with widespread arbitrary detention campaigns.

We, in the Human Right Bureau of the Syrian National Council, extend our deepest condolences to the families of the fallen heroes, wishes for the speedy recovery of those wounded, and wishes for the release of the detained. We strongly condemn and denounce the behavior of the Assad regime in carrying out the violence, killing, massacres, and crimes against humanity, in addition to the arbitrary arrests, systemic torture, rape, forced displacement, and kidnappings in facing the peaceful protests and legitimate demands of the Syrian people who are expressing their desire for freedom and their legitimate rights in toppling the criminal regime that has been stripped of its legitimacy. We turn to human rights organizations, the Arab League, the Friends of Syria, and the UN Security Council, and plead with them and the rest of the free world to work immediately by pressuring the Assad regime for the purpose of achieving the following:
- Declare the failure of the UN monitors mission and Arab-International Kofi Annan plan, because of the regime’s lack of commitment; respond to the lack of commitment to the initiative by issuing more powerful and effective decisions along with clearer and more time-bound executive mechanisms pursuant to Chapter VII of the UN Charter to help the people in protecting civilians and ousting the regime by imposing a no-fly zone and establishing safe areas and buffers, and move to action rather than words in supporting the Free Syrian Army; seriously lobby with each of Iran, Russia, and China to take a more neutral position and stop its support of the criminal regime; move quickly to cover humanitarian needs of the Syrian people; aid and life the siege off the disaster stricken cities; expel all the regime’s diplomats and ambassadors and sever all diplomatic relations with the regime.
We also demand that the UN Security Council immediately adopts and implements the Human Rights Council’s latest decision regarding referring the file of the regime’s officials responsible for committing the crimes against humanity to the International Criminal Court and compelling the regime to accept that an international investigation committee investigates the massacres. We also plead with nations to which Syrians were forced to migrate to treat the Syrian people in a humane and decent manner worthy of humans who deserve freedom and dignity. Furthermore, we invite the international community to assist those countries which are hosting Syrian refugees.
